Okay, I know the prison break story on OLTL kinda sucked, but I still think the show is in pretty decent condition. I am rather surprised to see it so low...especially in total viewers. It's definately a hell of alot of better than it was a year ago.

OLTL has only be showing the prison riot throughout the month of November. Yes there have been other characters sprinkled in, but the show has been about the prison riot. The prison riot is a bomb and bombs always explode. That is what is happening with the ratings.

I agree with Cheap, it really is time to start showcasing Viki and Clint, David and Dorian, Tess and Nash, Michael and Marcie, RJ, ect. ect. I'm not arguing that they should not show that quadrangle, they do have their fans. But they put all their eggs into one basket in sweeps and it was a bust. And yes, I know other characters were on the show, but they were just on. Period. The show was clearly about the prison riot.

No character or story should be on more than three times a week. The prison riot was on every day but one. You could see these ratings coming. I wonder when fans stop coming back? On another point, when GH and AMC started sucking air, changes were made in storylines and focus. I'm not seeing Fronsie taking any action to change the direction of OLTL.

I'm very disappointed in Higley. But since I started watching this show, message boards have constantly yelled fire the writer, fire the writer. Well, we've yelled the sky is falling so often, I doubt the boards have much credibility.

Oh me, oh my! Is that GL at 7th place in total viewers? I hope soon they'll be able to surpass 2 soaps (AMC & OLTL) and have it reflected in the HouseHold numbers too! Nice to see GL holding steady. Hopefully their strong episodes this past week will bump up the numbers a tenth at least.

Nice to see DAYS had a great turnout for the anniversary episode on Friday. Personally, I thought the episode was disappointing compared to what it *could've* been, but it was still nice and I loved seeing tender moments between Doug & Julie and Mickey & Maggie (too bad they couldn't use Mickey/Maggie flashbacks).

As happy as I might be that GL went up in households, when GL hits 7th place, it normally has more to do with AMC or OLTL's numbers diving down. Then they go up the following week. I am actually beginning to miss the mix of characters the show used to have. If you don't get hooked on one of the few stories they have going, you change the channel.

    • I am blown away that Christie Clark is 51, and she debuted 39 years ago. They gave her a lovely script today.  But, I could not think of any other examples in culture of someone able to jump right back into the skin of a character, after virtually retiring from acting years ago. I was trying to recall if Carrie left for a bit with Anna after Roman died (because she wasn't at Bo & Hope's wedding), and then returned as a pre-teen Christie?  Or if she was just SORASed off-screen?  But, whenever I see the character I am reminded how much more trauma she's endured than Sami, and yet she remains such a nice person.
    • Weirdly I feel like Nina was the most sus about the entire situation.  Normally I would have given this one to Carly, but Nina was always kind of trying to make it make sense. I think Nina (and Alexis) are actually really smart characters.  They just constantly get in their own way with dumb plans lol.
    • Rewatching some of 1991 I had to appreciate what a strong week March 5-12 1991 was. Cassandra dies, Nina shoots David, Sheila switces the babies, and drunk Nikki all occurring simultaneously. 1991 and 92 were pretty strong overall.
    • Still loving all the Gio fallout, but the scenes that really surprised me this episode were the ones with Nina and Maxie. I was not expecting Nina to be the one to put together all the pieces about Sasha's baby daddy. This custody hearing is about to get explosive!
    • I really hope after the secret comes out their interactions don't stop
    • BAHAHA  I needed that laugh today. Talk about one note.  I would put Derek and Ashley a notch above Dani. Dani's scenes are basically rinse, lather, and repeat for 60 episodes and counting.  It's as if she was transported from the soap opera Passions onto this soap.  MVJ should put aside her friendship/admiration for Karla and look at the fact that this character isn't wroking as written.
    • Agreed.  It doesn't feel in character at all.
    • You could always tell whenever Douglas Marland enjoyed writing for a particular actor, because he'd pull out all the stops for them; and Julianne Moore was no exception.
    • I'm sorry, but I just can't get past the fact that it was Lois, of all people, who deceived so many people.  No matter how hard Rena Sofer tries to justify Lois' actions - and boy, does she work hard! - it just isn't something Lois would've done.
    • Honestly, Olivia had kind of a good reason to keep her son safe from a mobster for two decades.  Sonny literally shot Dante in the chest lol and had multiple family members die, get injured, threatened, kidnapped, etc, etc.   I know you don't watch the show very often, but it's not like Olivia should have shown up and given Sonny and his 18-year-old girlfriend Brenda shared custody of a kid.  That would have been a horrible, life threatening idea.
